HI all,
When scripting an application, is there a way to get jaws to attach some
sort of identifying mark to objects, icons, graphics, slider bars, or
anything else jaws can't see but is actually on the screen? That is, when
arrowing around some applications I have come across various objects that
jaws can't seem to identify, yet, when I ask my wife if the graphic, icon,
or object is on the screen, she says "yes." A perfect example is a slider
bar I was trying to find on my thumb drive. I was given instructions to
resize the portion of the thumb drive to be hidden, but I couldn't find the
slider's arrow used to shrink the folder as I didn't want 50% of a 4 gb
thumb drive encrypted. I asked my wife to place the mouse cursor on the
arrow and I moved around and discovered that jaws couldn't read it. Jaws
just said: "Blank."
In other words, I'm asking if it is at all possible to write some sort of
script or code that will take each and every graphic, icon, or object jaws
cannot see and mark it with a unique character or string of characters so
that jaws can see it in the future, then hit a hotkey to place these objects
in a list view in order to manually label each object one by one. Basically,
rather than having to hunt each item down all over the screen and label each
one separately, I can write a custom label for each object all at once.
Can any of this be done? If at least somewhat possible please give me a hint
as to how to find these invisible objects.
Thanks,
Matthew
